Thread: Towing my caravan with my D2 is very ordinary

Pics before undersling




Some pics of the van now

The last two look like it is after the mod! Looks high.

Yeah SB they are the after pics. It is higher than I antisapated but tows so much better behind the D2. It is perfectly level now and I wont have the issues I had changing a wheel on it now. It's obviously not an offroader but gives me heaps more clearance to get it more places. Before I did the undersling I turned it around in the paddock next to it in the 3rd pic which has a very minor step up onto it and the bum dragged on the road getting up there. Wont happen now. I took it for aound 10k run and seems a lot better so I'm thinking there was just too much more weight on the rear axle compared to the front one. I will get a pic of it all set up on the disco when I can.

I am glad for you that the towing stability has improved, just sorry you had to do away with the airbags.

Thanks SB, I know they are good in a lot of cases and I will miss being able to lift it up at the push of a button. But to be honest much happier with whats in there now. I put the SLS gear on ebay yesterday, Compressor,airbags and the box it mounts in. There was someone who was interested on here but bugger I can't remember who it was and can't find the post it was in. If they read this "Sorry"

I would like to think the improvements more to do with the fixed shackles than raising the van 4 inches or replacing the SLS

what was the real problem?
I doubt you'll ever know now Sharkee

all you have to do now is post some holiday snaps

Thanks Pedro, Yeah I may not ever know but at a guess I reckon too much of the weight was distributed on the rear axle instead of being more evenly spread but who knows!. Could have been a combination of all the things I've changed maybe?. Will definately get some happier snaps

Cheers Steve
